Captain America Villains and Enemies |
Captain
America punching out his first, and his most iconic
foe, Adolf Hitler himself! Captain
America-
(Steve Rogers) --1st appearance: Captain America
Comics #1 (1941). 1st Silver Age appearance:
Avengers #4 (1964) Captain
America is an iconic hero for the the ages. And, as
with many heroes in the comic world, he is often
defined by the villains he faces and battles as
much as by his own character. In the case of
Captain America, who is also known as the First
Avenger, and as the Sentinel of Liberty, his
character often defines the types of villains he
deals with. As
a living emblem of American pride, the American
sense of justice and a true believer in American
freedom and liberty, Captain America often, and
naturally, finds his duty as defeating the enemies
of justice, freedom, and liberty. Hence, Captain
America's personal Rogues
